It is the early 1970s amid American fears of Soviet Communism. Leila Aluja's job with the government's top counter-espionage unit requires her to reinvent herself often while tracking down a Sino-Albanian spy ring. Leila falls for Albania Spymaster Josef Shqitonja but must remain separated from him as he searches for a life-prolonging yogurt formula. A wickedly funny satire of the love of money.
